Episode Description

I've told people for years to stay off Upwork. I've literally never even logged into the platform. But today's guest, Strategist Society member Ashley Cruz, made me eat my words.

Ashley signed her first high-ticket client on Upwork in just 15 days, and seven months later, she was completely waitlisted. Her cost per client? $45. In this episode, she's breaking down exactly how she finds premium, retainer-based clients on a platform most service providers have written off.


In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why high-ticket clients are actually on Upwork (and why they're not looking for cheap labor)
  • How to pitch retainer rates even when a job posting lists hourly
  • The $45 strategy that turns into $9,200+ in contracts
  • Ashley's 3 steps to get started on Upwork this week
  • Why your Upwork profile should read like a sales page, not a LinkedIn bio
